Has the barcode scanner disappeared on a recent update?
I’m sure there was one as standard either Google or a camera option.

I thought it was removed ages ago

I'm due an upgrade in May and I think I'll not bother either - First time I've ever considered that. I was thinking about a P30 Pro, but an upgrade just for a better camera which has only a few better features (I'll rarely use the Zoom) and the curved screen (that I know I'll hate) don't appeal. I feel like I'm almost max phone... That said, I just wish it had an SD slot...

This month apparently:

So nobody with a P20 has the update... #Sad

those p30 deals don't seem bad at all.

probably cos P40 is rumoured due later this month.

I can't see the P40 having much takeup though... Sideloading apps is never going to accepted in the mainstream...

My battery life seems to have gone off and I can't work out why - I am considering a full (local) hisuite backup, hard reset and restore as there's no memory card to pull....

Has anyone else done or tried this at all?

[james_TW]

I'm really sorry, I laughed at that... I did do something similar though as it's a lovely phone, but it's made of oil and slippy things...

My case stays firmly on...

I have no idea what it's made of but it's the slipperiest thing in the world. It 'literally' throws itself on the floor wherever I put it.

Pretty though.

And I guess the new one will be the same... sigh.

What case do you have out of interest?

My phone came with a basic clear "sleeve" with a slightly raised edge - It does a job nicely and doesn't increase the size of the phone at all.

Pretty much this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Hybrid-Crystal-Fle...

I'm due an upgrade and for the first time in a long time, I'm considering SIM only - the p30 pro just isn't a step up enough for me...

I'm still waiting on Android 10 too....

[james_TW]

I now have a P30 pro on order - there isn't anything else that I'd consider to be honest, it is supposed to arrive today, but I'm not exactly convinced in the circumstances.

Only thing I have to do now is work out how to migrate all my photos and things to the new phone...

I see the P20 Pro has been dropped by Huawei for their monthly security update... seems they will get some quarterly updates but still, this may be the final thing to happen to make me upgrade my phone soon. I


I have no issues with the phone whatsoever, but i guess, banking and stuff becomes a little more risky if the updates stop

anyone else see this?

That's odd because I've had about 4 updates in the past week or so...

Still no EMUI 10 though.

The lack of google is what stopped me getting it - It's easier to use Google Play to install things as you know it's more secure than to not otherwise you have to take a leap of faith in installing apps.

[james_TW]

I can recommend the P30 Pro - It's a better phone, but not too far different to make it difficult to navigate. However, given the cost of the other high end phones and the like, had the next phone been the P40, I'd have stuck with the P20 and gone SIM only...

[james_TW]

I'm loving my P30, but it's not a stretch away from the P20 if I'm honest - I hate the curved screen, but my case has a slightly raised edge that stops the curved screen getting in the way but still leaving me the ability to use it if I want to

No issues for me either.

What version of the nationwide app are you on? For me it's 10.1.0 last updated 8th October 2020.

v9. 0.0.

Im wondered if I should just delete it and try and fresh install

That would have been my next suggestion...
